The Right Shift Assignment Operator is represented by ">>=". This operator shifts the first operand to the right and assigns the result to the variable. It can also be explained as shifting the first operand to the right in a specified amount of bits which is the second operand integer and then assigning the result to the first operand. 

Syntax:

a >>= b
Or
a = a >> b
